“Nobody likes a grass” is fucking bullshit spouted by people who like committing crimes.
My concern is that someone you have reported may have asked plod “is it that twat on the cargo bike…”
You are doing the right thing but this is a fucking depressing account of events to read.

Unreal!! But surely you are not the only one riding on each of these people's commute. If there was a serial offender then maybe they could suspect you but I think that would be highly unlikely.
I had a crazy close pass yesterday.
White SUV - Tick!
Unfortunately I was on my MTB and although I thought I had wiped the rear lens clean before hitting a road section i had smeared it and I couldn't see the registration number. Typically I forgot to fit my front camera. -
Surely the fuzz should keep you anonymous. Even if asked it should be "from a concerned individual"
Do they have to show the offender the video footage?

We've been reporting ever since our little one started at school in September. We ride a solo and a Bullitt cargo bike (kitted out with cameras front and rear), single-file, for the whopping three-mile roundtrip. We've noticed the number of reportable incidents increasing steadily and now, we average about one dangerous driver per day. We are not exaggerating and the police concede that everything we report is fully justified, with nearly everyone receiving a Notice of Intended Prosecution for their driving. But something interesting just happened.
We were called by one of the police team that monitors the camera submissions and warned that we might be in danger as people will no doubt begin to figure out who reported them, if we take the same route every day. We were told to be careful as we could face "backlash" to our reports, especially from those who have incurred fines/points etc. So basically, we are being told to either stop reporting, drive everywhere (not a chance) or face the real risk of getting a hiding simply for trying to protect our four-year-old daughter. The threat was made so plain that we have now bought extra cameras, that we can wear, in case people follow us home or try to approach us at the school.
Can we all take a minute to just revel in the ridiculousness of this, as well as the totally avoidable nature of it all?
